Query about Profiles & Roles
1. I have a custom object "testObj"
2. There are many profiles used in my system and this testObj currently is accessble to only some of them, e.g. Profile1, Profile2 & Profile3.
3. Company CEO has profile Profile4 and this profile is assigned to several other users as well.
4. CEO now wants read access to testObj. I cannot grant the access to Proifle 4 directly because all others users will too get read access to testObj. I also cannot create new profile just for CEO.
Can anybody advise a solution?
For example, change the Porifle 4 to read access on testObj, and make a new Permission Sets with what you delete from Profile 4
then link this Permission Sets to all the users of Profile 4, except your CEO
Then the CEO will have read only to testObj, and all others in Profile 4 will get extra permission of testObj from the Permission Set.
Hi,
Permission set is the Best Option for this scenario
Create a permission set with required permissions and then assign it to a concern user to whom you want to give those specific permissions.
One Poing here
@Jia Hu
You can use permission sets to grant access, but not to deny access.
Crating permission set:
Setup->Manage Users-> Permission set and click new and give required permissions as given in profile
Now click on view users and click on NEW user
OR
Go to Particular User (Setup->Manage Users-> users) and click on Permission set assignment and add that user.

I agree with HariDinesh.
You would not change profile 4, but create a permission set with access to testObj, and grant that permission set to your CEO.
